Swimming Upstream

Swimming Upstream

I spent several afternoons/evenings a week at the pool in Riverview Park this summer.  It is well kept and far enough off the beaten path to keep crowds to a minimum.  We got to know the life guards and some of the other swimmers.  But I really can't swim.  I mean I can stay afloat […]

DADT Repeal Vote Looms

DADT Repeal Vote Looms

The PG has it here. The Senate on Thursday approved a multibillion-dollar package of tax breaks and government-backed loans for small businesses, as Democrats sought to use the muscle of their majorities to pursue a congressional agenda that would make their case for retaining House and Senate control this fall. After surmounting months of Republican […]

Gay controversy erupts at Podcamp Pittsburgh

Gay controversy erupts at Podcamp Pittsburgh

I've mentioned in the past that I am part of a panel discussion on blogging ethics at this weekend's Podcamp Pittsburgh.  My sister blogger, Ms. Mongahela, has come up with the idea of giving away a “Liberal” basket filled with all sorts of liberal agenda goodies. Great idea, right? Well, until the liberal elite decided […]

The Inside Scoop

The Inside Scoop

I share a lot of opinions on this blog, but haven't done such a bang up job covering the breadth of issues that matter to me.  Or sharing about me.  I've been working pretty hard to get into shape.  I think I already wrote about it.  I'm using the website www.sparkpeople.com to track my nutrition […]

Maybe the Post-Gazette should send Tony Norman to HTML camp …

For the sake of all that's holy and good about Pittsburgh, can someone from CMU please go down to the Post-Gazette and fix their damn search engine?  Try searching for “gay” and see all the 2009 articles that come up at the top even when you sort by date.  The fine writers and editors have […]

The Homo Threat to Critical Infrastructure …

The Homo Threat to Critical Infrastructure …

could jokingly refer to bad interior design choices or the election of pro-gay elected officials. Here's what it apparently means to the Rendell Administration: Gov. Ed Rendell has terminated what he called a horribly misguided state contract with a Philadelphia firm that led to wrongful and improper reports being disseminated about environmental groups, tax protesters, […]

Oh for God's sake. Just go find another sandbox in which to play. “Dumbest post” indeed.  I've written more dumb posts than you can shake a stick at, sir! And my name is proudly affixed to each one …

Marcellus Shale

Marcellus Shale

Go Doug Shields!  Fight for what's right, not just politically expedient.  I am so sick of capitulation I could vomit.  The Marcellus Shale warlords want to be taxed at 1.5%!!!!!! The story of screwing the average Pennsylvanian resident never ends and this time it rolls down from Ed Rendell through the sorry excuse for a […]
